I don’t think that is true. 1.smaller canopies are easier to pack. 2.it is harder to get line twist on them (shorter lines). But if you do get in one things might get ugly. But what do I know? my last cutaway was 1800 jumps ago

get better Matt! Sorry to hear what happened to you

Feeling at one with the canopy
JumpRu replied to lisamariewillbe's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
800-1000 is from terminal speed. from 2100ft it was subterminal opening. they take less alt. -
try KA 135.

i saw that same thing happen on vector 3 after incorrect closing of riser covers. Riser was under both flaps.

Get better Harry! I hope we will see you soon at CSS. yev

Most fun you can have on a solo...
JumpRu replied to Yossarian's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Try booty fly. this is not "freefly" really, your speed is just a little faster then on RW jump. Make sure your rig is freefly friendly. Also alt. awareness is critical it is a little harder to watch your altimeter, so audible is a good idea. -
Hey guys, our team will be at CSS tomorrow (Friday) starting at 10AM there are some students coming so we will have a load. Lets go jumping! yevgeniy

Striking the tail is a real possibility on any side door exit if aircraft is not flown properly on the jump run. You cannot blame jumper without having all information.

Hey guys, i'd rather have Otter for the 4way practice, CASA is cool but we need TO for couple weekends before Raeford meet. Other then that I'm sure that we will have a great boogie and I'll do my part and bring bear! yev

Happy Birthday Marion! Like we say in Russia: S Dnem Rozdenia! yev

Canopy comparison:Velocity vs. Vengeance?
JumpRu replied to freeflir29's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
try Katana, my 107 opens very sort and always on heading and PD makes bigger sizes now. -
I’m very happy with my KA107 with HMA lines loaded about 1.7. I knew it has light riser pressure, long dive and strong flare but I was really surprised that it opens better then any other canopy I’ve jumped. I made about 20 jumps on it and all my openings were super soft and on heading (got to be that HMA line set!). With this canopy I just smile at pull time :o) Good job PD!
-
I just got my KA107 with HMA lines and I’m really happy with it. I have a feeling that PD kept working on this canopy after it was released couple years ago. Now it has great soft on heading openings, good glide, light riser pressure, long dive and super strong flare. I think this canopy can be flown aggressively or conservatively equally well. Oh, did I mention the openings?
-
Damn! I'm so sorry to hear this. Speed recovery, Randy! Sending good vibes your way...
-
>Both openings were perfectly on heading, and very >comfortable deployment sequence. This is a >welcome change! Little off topic but I just got my KA107 with 500 HMA and openings are sweet, much better then I was expecting. So far I made 8 jumps (2 sub-terminal 6 terminal) and all openings were very soft and 100% on heading. Good job PD!

Hi Dawn! i hope you feel better! I've got a DVD from Raeford meet; I think Lyman\LJ\Beth\Matt (Team the Bears) had the funniest jump of entire meet on first round! yev
-
I'll be jumping at CSS all Friday, come on out!
-
> FINALLY got my katana demo in, who's up for hop >and pops this weekend? count me in :)
-

-
>Dawn #1 just looked and it hasnt come yet Hey Brian, if it gets here this weekend, you are welcome to try it i'll try to take a "day off" this friday. Looks like everyone will be there! a little over a month till next tunnel trip... i'm thinking of getting 3hr... it's been too long! yev
-
is my KA out there yet?
-
At least he asked if he could jump with you… One guy who was visiting DZ joined our 2 way without asking permission. He told us later that we were not in danger because he has 1000 jumps and he knows what he is doing
-
Hey guys, anybody will be jumping around 6PM today or tomorrow? let me know! yev
